So you added more content to your original post to try to supercede PV Sampson's post. A moderator discussing moderation. Discussion of moderation is not permitted on the site as it derails threads.

It's nothing to do with being manly and tough. Historic happenings have nothing to do with the social and political climate we are seeing today. Since you raised the point, the report button is used when there is a breach of forum rules, is it not?.. reconsider your position if you find it difficult or stop complaining if members use it. Incidentally, the resident troll will be reported if I find his/her rubbish shamelessly allowed to sit in threads of a more serious or respectful nature.

I owe you some green dots. Not because I'm tough but because you're awesome

Pretty sure he negged everyone in this thread. It doesn’t really bother me, and honestly I’m surprised it took me almost 10 years to get a mod neg. Out of all the stuff I’ve posted over the years I didn’t expect that to be the post that got it though. In a way I guess it makes sense...make a post about what lead to the emergence of snowflakes and get negged by a snowflake.

I just thought it was ironic that he apparently took offense to my snowflake comment, then did what I suspect a snowflake would do... a little drive by negging.

I’ve had some serious disagreements here, and those guys were mature enough that at the day, we agree to disagree, and move on. I don’t even know this person.

I found that most people who use the term snowflake are the biggest snowflakes.

I don’t think that’s the case at all, though I do agree that the “back in my day things were tougher narrative” has been around forever. And actually, most of the time the people who said that stuff were right. Now days things are being taken to a whole new stratosphere of sensitivity though. As I mentioned earlier schools had to close after the election because too many people were distraught. They had hot chocolate parties and pizza parties. College kids will often protest any speaker they don’t agree with. They demand “safe spaces” on college campuses where anything deemed offensive(which usually just means anything they don’t agree with) isn’t allowed. Two white women had their taco truck shut down because it was “cultural appropriation” and offensive to Hispanics. Katie Perry had to apologize for cultural appropriation because she braided her hair, which apparently can only be a black thing now. The list goes on and on and on and on....way too long to list it all here. Those people are way more sensitive than the people who call them snowflakes while complaining about what the overly sensitive are doing to society.

Convincing your voter base that they are victims is a powerful tool. It's been used throughout history by powerful people to charge up a base.

It's kind of expected from the collectivist side because they associate weakness with the individual. It's funny to watch the supposedly "rugged individualist" party fall prey to the exact same strategy despite all of the obvious cognitive dissonance.

Ahh, back in the day when men were men, women were men, and babies were men.

It's unthinkable now that a kid would be allowed to run free in the back seat or cargo area.

I thought riding in a U-Haul trailer was a lot of fun. But my favorite was laying in the cabover portion of the camper, looking out the little front window, high above the other cars..... pretending that I was flying down the road with imaginary wings.
